The clean and tidy room, with milky white strip lights inlaid on the metal-painted walls, coupled with the shining lights, looks very sci-fi.
But in such a youthful room, there stood a white-haired old man with a deep smile on his wrinkled face. He looked at the people who came in and said, "Horii, long time no see."
"Ryo...Ryosuke? You...how...how...how..."
Before the excitement and joy on Horii's face faded away, it was replaced by extreme shock. His already big eyes were as wide as a bell.
This...is this Ryousuke?
How can it be?
How could it be like this?
He and Ryousuke are old classmates and are similar in age. Horii is thirty-seven years old this year, and he just feels that his energy is not as good as before. But the man in front of him not only has white hair, not a trace of black, but also has loose skin.
It is full of wrinkles and looks like the bark of an old tree. Even its back is full of wrinkles. It is said that it is young even if it is seventy or eighty years old.
How could this be Ryosuke?
"Haha," Ryosuke Sanada smiled, slowly sat down on the table, and said softly, "People will become like this."
"But...but...you...you..." Horii was so trembling that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. His brain was so shocked that his eyes went blank, and he almost lost the ability to think.
"I took a shortcut, so I reached the finish line earlier than you."
Sanada Ryosuke smiled and said cruel words, but Horii almost cried.
Ever since I was a child, I have never seen Ryousuke like this.
He was old and frail, as if a gust of wind could knock him down. But what made Horii more uncomfortable than his physical weakness was that Ryosuke was in a state he was in right now. He didn't look like he was unwilling to lag behind in the past.
Thinking back to when we met in the New Development Zone a few years ago, Ryousuke could still recall the breath-holding competition he lost to Horii when he was a child. This shows how competitive he is and strives to be first in everything. Those who are lagging behind will feel uncomfortable at all.
It didn't work, but now, not only has the appearance become the same as the old man, but also the mentality is the same as the old man, without the arrogance of the past.
this...
What happened to make Ryosuke become what he is now in just a few years?
But Ryosuke Sanada seemed not to notice Horii's shocked expression and said to himself: "I heard that you have started a family and have a pair of children. That's great. Your life is complete."
"Well..." Horii nodded stiffly, then quickly unzipped his clothes, carefully took out a photo, held it up in front of Sanada Ryosuke, and said: "The older one is six years old, and the younger one is also
Four years old."
Sanada Ryosuke raised his hand to catch the photo, but after lifting it halfway, he put it down again. He just looked at it with cloudy eyes and said after a while: "It's really good, it's really good."
"..."
Horii didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to comfort him but was afraid of showing off like he did before, because he had two children and a happy family, but Sanada Ryosuke was not only as weak as an old man, but also alone.
Because he attended Sayaka's wedding two years ago, and the groom...
It's not Ryousuke.
Even though there was affection back then, there was no news from Ryousuke since then, and Horii couldn't even find out, let alone that it was Sayaka who was just a researcher. In the end...
After being silent for a while, Sanada Ryosuke leaned back and leaned on the back of his chair. His eyes wandered, as if he was looking at the luminous strip on the ceiling, and said: "Horii, actually trying to be first in everything is not so good.
It's okay to be a little behind in time, because it gives you time to do other things.
Life...
In fact, you should enjoy it slowly."
"Ryosuke..."
Horii opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by a big stone, making him unable to speak. His eyes were even more astringent and felt moist.
Such words were simply not what Ryosuke in his memory could say. Listening to these words now and looking at Ryousuke like this, it really made Horii uncomfortable.
Striving for first place in everything, spending all your energy and time on striving for first place, so all that is left in life is striving for first place. What is even more sad is that now Ryousuke is not even qualified to talk about the word "slowly"
.
After Sanada Ryousuke said a few words sadly, he took a deep breath, cheered up, and returned to his previous smiling appearance, saying: "I'm going to enjoy myself next, so you can slowly tire yourself out.
Raising a child is not an easy task, it takes a lot of time and energy."
Saying that, Sanada Ryosuke held on to the table and was about to stand up tremblingly. The shaky look made Horii subconsciously reach out to help him, but Sanada Ryosuke waved his hand to reject it, causing Horii's hand to stop in mid-air, and then
Take it back silently.
At this moment, Horii saw a bit of Sanada Ryosuke's past, and would not let him help him even if needed.
Horii could do it in one second, but it took Sanada Ryosuke almost ten seconds to finally stand up. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. Then he picked up the crutches placed next to him and walked out slowly.
Go, and said as he walked: "I just took a step ahead, met you, and knew that your life is very good, that's enough, haha."
When he walked to Horii's side, he raised his hand with difficulty, weakly patted Horii's shoulder, and then continued walking out.
Horii didn't move or look back, he just stood there, listening to the sound of Sanada Ryosuke's crutch hitting the ground gradually getting away until the automatic door closed.
In an instant, I burst into tears!
His shoulders were shaking violently, and tears were falling like rain.
Already extremely sad.
Because he was about to lose a friend, his friend since childhood.
He obviously had a bright future and a beautiful life, but he lost to the darkness in his heart.
A mistake made once will take a lifetime to repay.
Horii felt that he was not worth it and felt sad that he was about to leave.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But she didn’t dare to show it in front of him. Even though both parties knew it, they still held back a tear to prevent Liangsuke from seeing it, just to maintain Liangsuke’s pitiful look.
self-esteem.
After a long time, Horii heard the footsteps and stopped behind him. Then he patted the shoulder where Ryosuke just patted him with a warm hand, and then said: "He put his experience and feelings about Albron cells over the years.
, and all the previous research on Albron cells have been written down, and because of him, many people have a deeper understanding of the dangers of Albron cells."
The description in words is never as shocking as the reality.
No matter what attitude I had towards Albron cells in the past, I was deeply impressed after seeing with my own eyes that Ryosuke Sanada, who was not even forty years old, now looked like an old man.
The harm of cell transplantation is so terrible.
If you really agree with that sentence, say it ten thousand times, it is better to actually read it once.
Horii raised his hand to wipe his tears, turned around, looked at Chiba Makoto with red eyes, then bent down and bowed deeply, saying: "Thank you!
Thanks to you, Ryousuke has had a few years to overcome the darkness in his heart."
It was precisely because Ultraman Tiga cleared the Ebron cells from Ryosuke Sanada that Ryosuke Sanada did not die on the spot. But with the past few years, he stopped, thought, and recollected, and finally got rid of the long-term
The 'aura' that enveloped him was also weighing on him.
Maybe it's a little late, but...
You finally let it go, right?
Even if it's the last moment of your life, it's better than never letting go and figuring it out all your life.
Therefore, Horiiyo Ryosuke said this sentence several years late.
Thanks!
Chiba Makoto did not say a word, but patted Horii's shoulder hard again, and then walked out, leaving Horii to sort out his curiosity before walking out of the reception room.
Although there are still tears on his face and his eyes are still red, he is no longer glum.
He didn't ask where Ryosuke Sanada had gone, but directly talked about the Ebron alien beast that had caused TPC to go to war.
After Tsutomu Nakajima's report was submitted, Director Fukami convened a staff meeting and immediately organized multiple investigations and verifications to confirm that it was indeed the remains of Albron cells and that there was a human infected with Albron underground under the metropolis.
Cells of mice.
The TPC paid great attention to it and organized a large amount of manpower and material resources to search for this Abron alien beast at all costs and must annihilate it.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Horii. After all, he was no longer a member of the victory team. Now he was transferred to the scientific research department and took the lead in building the cosmic network with PWI. However, the matter of Sanada Ryosuke was always a thorn in Horii's side.
Join in and contribute to the complete elimination of Ebron cells.
Yes, it is to completely eliminate Ebron cells.
After Ryosuke Sanada appeared at the General Headquarters, the staff meeting reached an agreement at an unprecedented speed, that is, Albron cells must be treated more cautiously, and strict measures must be used to control Albron cells. Some radicals even proposed to destroy them.
All Ebron cells.
As for this proposal, even the most conservative police department did not immediately oppose it. Instead, they believed that it should be carefully considered based on the overall situation, looking into the future, and not making judgments based on temporary problems.
Obviously, some people still have certain fantasies and expectations about Albron cells, and are unwilling to destroy Albron cells, which can be called a "big killer", but they also agree to adopt stricter control measures and strictly guard against it.
Be sure to leave the Eblon Cells to the future.
The reason for this is very simple. One is to study and preserve Albron cells. Firstly, it is believed that giant creatures can be used as biological weapons. Secondly, it is expected to develop human body strengthening drugs from them, thereby greatly improving the physical fitness of the human body and even extending lifespan.
.
But Ryosuke Sanada's appearance directly shattered the second expectation. This is not about extending life. It is clearly about sucking the bones and breaking the marrow. It took a few years to turn a strong young man into this dying figure.
Even if it is possible to achieve my expectations in the future, it will definitely not be short in the future. Since I can’t use it, why should I take the risk?
Therefore, even some people who have high hopes for Albron cells believe that research on Albron cells should not be restarted in the short term, and that stricter control is needed.
It is said that in private, Chief of Staff Nagumo even gloated that "whoever caused the leakage of Eblon cells will be in bad luck this time."
In fact, everyone knows that the person who can quietly obtain Ebron cells and support the research is definitely not an unknown person. He must have a very high status and power, but no matter what, he will not please him next time, even if
You won't be kicked out, but you will have to pay a heavy price.
While various high-level meetings were taking place, the command room of the Super Victory Team was also in full swing formulating a plan to annihilate the Ebron alien beast.
Horii, who regained his sense and calmness, immediately used his smart brain to brainstorm with Tsutomu Nakajima, and began to think of ways to find the Albron alien beast, and then use heavy firepower to completely eliminate it
.
"According to the relevant data retained by the Space Development Agency and...the information provided by Ryosuke, the infection of the host by Ebron cells is in stages, and the desire for electricity is different at different stages, so we can target this
Make a fuss."
Tsutomu Nakajima nodded in agreement and asked Midorikawa Mai to use a supercomputer to calculate the curve of power demand at different stages.
Horii pointed to one of the curves that suddenly pulled up and said: "At this stage, ordinary transmission lines cannot meet the demand at all, so we must look for power stations."
"But it's just a mouse?"
Yumimura Ryo expressed surprise. Can a mouse find a power station like a human?
Horii straightened up and said with profound meaning: "Never underestimate the hunting instinct of living things."
"So, we have to make a plan around the power station." Kibi Gosuke's brows almost wrinkled. This is not easy to handle. A little carelessness may cause great damage. After all, this is a high-voltage power plant.
, if you connect the wrong one at all, it can cause an extremely terrifying explosion.
"Actually, we can set traps." Horii clicked on the map, which is the closest and largest solar power transmission station to the metropolis. This is a newly built facility after the Gazot incident that receives space microwaves and converts them into electricity. It is responsible for supplying large-scale electricity.
Forty-three percent of the city's electricity.
"As long as the metropolitan area is the only one with abundant electricity, the Albron alien beast will have no choice." Tsutomu Nakajima's eyes also lit up, and he immediately got Horii's point.
"That's right, it can only come here when the time comes." Horii took a picture of the map and said, "Then we can find a way to completely eliminate it."
"This takes time to prepare." Kibi Gosuke nodded, agreeing with this method in principle, but it requires detailed planning. After all, this is a metropolis, with a combined urban and suburban population of 40 million.
Once a major power outage occurs, the impact will be huge, so notification must be made in advance and preparations must be made in order to carry out the power outage in an orderly manner, otherwise, big trouble will occur.
And if you want to make it so big, even the staff meeting will not dare to make decisions, and you must hold a larger-scale meeting.
